Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said in May that advances in DNA technology could help point to Josue's killer.

In 2016, charges were dropped due to inconclusive DNA evidence against a man police still consider the only suspect.

Friday night, when we asked Houston police about the case, they referred us to a two-sentence tweet from Acevedo, which reads:

The @houstonpolice has received media inquiries regarding the Josue Flores case. As a reminder to our community and media partners, this is an on-going investigation and there is no information to release at this time. #RelationalPolicing
